The United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg is dedicated to addressing the region's most pressing issues through comprehensive solutions. Their mission involves partnering with local nonprofit agencies via the Steps to Success grants to collectively work towards bettering communities. The focus is on ensuring funded programs are effective and impactful, validating that investments truly make a difference in crucial areas.
The United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg's grant application process for 2024 has been temporarily amended to only include agencies awarded grants in 2023. This modification signifies a deviation from the previously practiced open application process, with an intention to revert to the open process in the future. Through the Steps to Success grants, the organization supports local nonprofit agencies in achieving shared objectives of community improvement. Funded programs are rigorously monitored and evaluated to measure their effectiveness and ensure that they contribute positively to targeted issues within the community.
